Battlefield Contract Worker

"Isn't it possible?" Carrian said in a stunned voice.

"Nothing is impossible. In fact, the current situation is already very bad. Not only in Drumman Town, but in Kadar Town, the current situation is probably not very good. Are you unable to contact the defenders in Kadar Town?" Lin Rui asked.

"Yes, the communication has been interrupted for several hours." The Canavia soldier nodded.

Lin Rui nodded, "That's right, the Olumi Federal Army has certain electronic countermeasures equipment, and they can block and interfere with the signal sent from Kadar Town. They can also block the communication signal from Drumman Town, so in the Within two hours of the war, we didn't receive any calls for help. Two hours later, we suddenly received a message. This must be because Drumman has fallen and the command has fallen to the enemy. That's why they sent it. Call for help. Intended to lure us out."

"Then what?" Karian whispered.

"You can't go anywhere." Black Panther Gulei said, "Jabbasi is a hilly and mountainous area, and the terrain is not good, which is not conducive to attacking. That's why the Orumi Federal Army sent an engineering battalion to try to take down Jabbasi. , to open up a path. The Orumi Federal Army wants to lead us out, and we must not be fooled."

"But are we indifferent in the face of the brothers' request for help?" a black officer hesitated.

"I'm afraid it can only be like this, unless the situation is clear." Black Panther Gu Lei shouted back. "Not only can we not send people to support, but we have to step up the arrangement of positions. Set up anti-tank roadblocks. They don't have heavy tanks, only some light armored vehicles. We must deploy certain armored roadblocks in front of the position."

"But where do we have anti-tank roadblocks?" Carrian shook his head.

"There are no anti-tank barricades, you can blow up the nearby rocks and block the road with huge stones. Widen the trenches dug before to make anti-tank trenches. The Oromi Union Army should not have heavy tanks, most of which are just Wheeled armor, even if there are a small number of light tracked chariots, is small in size, lacks power and maximum gradient, and cannot pass normally." Black Panther Gu Lei immediately replied, "General, I need all of your people to mobilize, together. Get it done, plus get all the bazookas distributed to the platoons."

"But even if we widen the trenches now, we may not have enough time. Besides, the anti-armor trenches may not be able to block the enemy's armor." Karian said anxiously.

Black Panther Gu Lei pondered, "Not necessarily. In the Syrian-Israeli war, in order to control the Golan Heights, Syria and Israel have fought fiercely for many times. After World War II, the world's largest tank battle took place here. There In this war, it helped Israel to successfully resolve the overwhelming armored advantage of Syria, and the victory was an anti-tank trench that was slag.

In 1973, the Arab countries Egypt and Syria launched a sudden attack on Israel from the west and north respectively, which opened the prelude to the 4th Middle East War. On the northern front, three Syrian armored brigades equipped with 800 Soviet-made T-62 new tanks led three Syrian infantry divisions and went straight to the Golan Heights to cover up.

This T-62 tank was equipped with the world's largest caliber tank gun and the latest infrared observation instrument, and the armor protection was also the world's first-class at that time. Facing the rolling flood of iron armor, the Israeli army defending the Golan Heights has only 60 Sherman tanks used by the US military in World War II. The strength and weakness are like the sky, and it seems that the Israeli army cannot escape.

Unexpectedly, the Syrian army tank convoy, which was advancing at the maximum accelerator, was blocked in front of a ditch in the Golan Heights, unable to do anything.

Although the Israeli army defending the Golan Heights was small in number and poorly equipped, it was very particular about tactics. The anti-tank trench has a mouth width of 6 meters, a bottom width of 4 meters, and a depth of 9 meters. According to the general method of constructing anti-tank trenches, the excavated soil should be piled on both sides.

But the Israeli army went against the norm and piled up all the soil on its side, and built a loose earth embankment more than two meters high. This subtle and ingenious change made the Syrian army scratch its head: use a bulldozer to fill it up, because the soil is all piled up on the side of the Israeli army, and the Golan Heights is a solid volcanic lava field, and the bulldozer cannot shovel hard. land, no soil to fill.

Helpless, the Chinese and Syrian troops had to fill the tanks into the trenches. The tanks that could be filled in the trenches were only more than 2 meters high, but the depth of the trenches was 9 meters. Many tanks were damaged in vain, and they could only "look at the trenches and sigh." The Syrian army had to come up with a last resort, using a tank bridge to erect a rut bridge, but because the other end of the trench was more than two meters higher, one end of the bridge was higher and the other was lower, and the higher end was placed on the soft soil embankment. up, causing the tank crossing the bridge to sway from side to side and turn into the trench at every turn.

The fate of the tank that came by luck was even more tragic, because when it crossed the embankment, the body was lifted up, exposing the weak armored bottom; when it crossed the embankment, the fragile top was fully exposed, giving the Israeli army two excellent shots. Aiming and shooting opportunities, became a living target of anti-tank guns.

After four days of fighting, the Syrian army not only failed to advance half a step, but left 250 tanks and 260 armored vehicles on both sides of the anti-tank trenches. This area is therefore known in the Middle East as the Valley of Tears. The Israeli army used an anti-tank trench in this way, which successfully delayed the Syrian offensive and bought time for the arrival of reinforcements. When the Israeli army turned to the counter-offensive, the bulldozer easily pushed the soil into the trench to build an earth bridge, and the security forces quickly passed through to launch an attack.

So ~www.readwn.com~ nothing is absolute. We currently have previously left trenches to use, plus more defensive trenches dug during the Olumi occupation to defend against our flanking attacks. "

"But we don't have anti-tank guns. If the opponent really charges with armor, the proposed trenches dug temporarily may not be able to stop them." General Carrian was worried.

"Anti-armor trenches play a hysteretic role, not a vain attempt to block the opponent. If there are trenches, the enemy's armor cannot advance at a high speed, so that we can use anti-tank equipment to hit the enemy's armor more easily, and the trenches It can also ambush infantry carrying explosives or Molotov cocktails, so that the enemy armor must be under the cover of the infantry to be able to advance calmly, which can greatly delay the speed of the enemy's assault." Lin Rui said solemnly, "Although the ability is limited, But it's better than doing nothing here."

"Okay, I'll order now to step up digging and expand the existing trenches. In addition, the anti-tank weapons will be distributed in a centralized manner. I hope it's too late. But I more hope that you are wrong." General Carrian gritted his teeth road.

"I also hope that we are wrong." Lin Rui replied.
